Final version of Opera 12.13 has been released for Windows, Mac and Linux with stability improvements and security enhancements and is available for download from Opera website. Opera highlights two bug fixes as significant ones:one, Opera not able to load pages on startup where the browser is disconnected from internet and two, browser gets internet communication errors on Facebook.

On platforms wise- for both Linux and Windows as we mentioned previously Opera software has implemented new auto-update mechanism and (for Windows only) protection against hijacking of default search has been improved.

From Opera 12.13 version onwards browser’s search settings won’t be changed by third-party software on Windows without user’s permission.

I upgraded to 12.13 first thing this morning, and immeadiately it started crashing, on testing the auto update feature, even on installing.
The first few builds of the browser were great, but this (rushed?) final release is a pile of crap.
I’ve used Opera for nearly 7 years now and acted as an evangelist with family and friends, most of whom now use Opera as thier only browser, but this endlessly falling over version is an absolute no no.
Dissapointed, very dissapointed
